Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to see how their story ends! (Though I do know that we're getting a 5th book that has the 2nd generation!)

I was chomping at the bit for this book! Along with literally everybody else…

Having book two be full of context it helps appreciate the characters so much more in book three. I wasn’t surprised at how much I have ended up enjoying this whole series.

This is book is HOT AND SPICY but also in depth with way more story than just great smutty smut smut! *Insert wink here*

There is action along with romance and you can’t help but love both the MCs. Their banter is intense, and the respect they have for each other really shines through in this series and the story in this third book doubles down on the love the MCs have for each other even though one is a stubborn *insert bad word here*. That’s okay though, that character will get there eventually *insert another wink here too*.

Over the course of this year, I've read a lot of Penelope’s books that I've love and books by other authors that have been so-so. The ones of Penelope’s that I’ve read, it's fair to say, these books in this series are better written, more unique, and they make me impatient for the last one! Like seriously, I’m constantly looking at how many days until we get the next one and the next one.

This third book was set up perfectly by the other two and that made this one all the more better and easy to understand certain characters even more. Don’t get me wrong there are some characters that make you wanna throat punch them but that’s the writing for you, done well so that we all wanna cooter punch certain characters. Brava!

This was enjoyable to read, I consumed it in a day and I know I’ll do the same to the next one too!
